As a basic timeline, in a megathread I asked @podking if the podcasts in the dump weren't vetted to include warnings for content not allowed on the site specifically transphobia, both hosts of the BAR pod are known transphobes and listed such on the transmap site listed as a resource on the transenby comm. They are transphobic, the podcast is transphobic, end of story with that. They responded and said "it’s lmaoooo apparently some of y’all need a trigger warning" and then I made a post in the transenby comm bringing this response to attention and people were not happy with their response, which resulted in the poddump thread being unpinned and locked.

I've noticed some users and some fresh accounts who probably just came here for the dump asking where it was. And it seems like @podking still has the ability to edit the locked post (or edited it shortly before it being locked, mods please let me know which) where they one included a link to what I assume is their site for the pod dump https://kingdex.xyz/feeds/ and also the navy seal copypasta which is weird wrecker behavior to do similar to their initial reply about the trigger warnings and some of their other since removed comments when confronted about it . I really think there's something not right about this. They're not banned (which they shouldn't be if they apologize to the trans community ), but still haven't apologized and are still sending script edits to the post ? @PorkrollPosadist @marxisthayaca if you have any more information about how the post is being edited / if podking reached out to you directly or something ...

If people are just gonna keep on complaining maybe it's best to pin something about it, include the link to his site and say we don't endorse it, idk (edit : https://hexbear.net/post/191681 there has been a temporary thread pinned that explains it so at least people will stop asking about it / can access the content)

    I guess I don’t really see how a free content tap has a semi-active comm by the balls,

    Because this thread even had to be made in the first place. Like, I get that this is a very minor thing that shouldn't be making this much of a stink. But the slowness to act exemplifies a deference to users who aggregate content even when they pose a security risk. It's similar to how irl groups allowing toxically masculine members to gain enough power often has led to sexual abuse or people going to jail for adventurism, despite those members appearing like good comrades initially. Imagine if people found out (hypothetically) SeventyTwoTrillion was actually secretly working against the community or held extremely reactionary views in private. They shouldn't be in a place where they're irreplacable and someone has to make a metapost to convince others to do something about it.

      A security risk, really? It's just a reliable slop trough.

      I just checked the most recent torrent update by podking and they did indeed remove the podcast they were criticized for, "blocked and reported". It appears they did respond to the complaint.
